["description_long"]=> string(1517) "The 12th-century coif is a simple, close-fitting cap that covers your hair and ears. In the Middle Ages, it was a staple for almost everyone, either worn on its own or as a base layer. If you're wearing a helmet or a mail coif, this piece is essential for stopping your hair from getting snagged in the metal and making the fit much more comfortable.
We use breathable cotton for this coif to help keep your head cool when you're active. It secures with two simple ties under the chin, so it won't slide around while you move. While it's styled after high-medieval fashion, these stayed in use all the way through the late medieval period, so it fits a huge range of kits.
The seams are sewn flat to prevent those annoying pressure marks you normally get from wearing headgear stacked up. It also acts as a sweat barrier, which helps keep your more expensive hats and helmets looking good for longer.
Highlights
- Common headwear for everyone, from knights to peasants, throughout the Middle Ages.
- Breathable cotton helps manage heat and moisture during long events
- Under-armor protection stops your hair from pulling in mail or helmets
- Flat seams stay comfortable even when you're wearing heavy gear on top
- Easy to wash and maintain after a weekend in the dirt
- A period-fluid piece, that while in this style was normalized in the 12th century, was worn well into the late medieval period.
The way the human children look at you, you would assume they have never seen an elf before. Granted, it isn’t often that you travel into cities. You prefer the tranquil sounds of the forest, away from the stench and chaos of busy human streets.
However, you have business with a certain wizard in town. So while your elven garb--decorated Fur Hood, tunic, and weapons--cause you to stand out amongst the crowd, you continue without raising a fuss. After all, they are only short-lived creatures. They don’t know any better than to stare.
DETAILS
Epic Armoury’s Fur Hood is an embroidered mantle with a long hood tail. The mantle covers the shoulders, keeping the upper chest warm while the hood protects the head and face from harsh wind. Elvish embroidery and polyester fur trim embellishes this hood, adding great detail to the felted wool. The inside is lined with soft, comfortable cotton.
Hoods are great garments for rounding off character looks, and the Fur Hood is a stylish garment that especially fits a roguish or elven character. Adjust the hood’s facial opening with flat split-leather cord lacing at the throat.
HISTORY
- One of the oldest garments known to humanity
- Common fashion in medieval Europe, especially with a hood
You tighten your Ring Belt another notch, frowning at the watered-down soup over the fire. It’s been a long winter, and you and your family aren’t sure you’re going to have enough food. As you consider ways you might be able to afford some meat--maybe you can do some work for a merchant in town?--there’s an anxious knock on the door.
“Raiders!” shouts the messenger on your doorstep. “Raiders are coming! Every able person is being called to fight!”
Suddenly an empty belly is the least of your worries.
DETAILS
Epic Armoury’s Ring Belt is a long leather belt made from 3 mm thick full-grain buffalo leather. Strong and durable, this belt is also extremely practical with its various D-ring hangers and leather straps for attaching equipment. With a rounded belt-tongue and 10 punched holes, adjust this belt to a large range of sizes to fit your unique body. Secure the belt using its solid brass belt buckle.
The Ring Belt is handsome and clean, making it a perfect fit for almost any character in any setting you care to play.

Oh no, you think, as a sword and a helmet are thrust into your farm-calloused hands. You’ve never been trained as a soldier, let alone asked to fight on a dangerous battlefield!
But here you are, suddenly standing in a row of your neighbors. You await the advancing orc raid said to be headed for your farms and your town, and you just hope that somehow you’ll make it through. At least your Helmet feels solid on your head. That’s something to be thankful for, at least...right?
DETAILS
Epic Armoury’s Ready for Battle Brawl Belt is a long slender belt made from black chrome-tanned, split-leather, providing a good anchor for swords and pouches.
